Soon after this I had a strange dream which I documented in my mark making work. I dreamt that I was in my bedroom, which was a large white room. I was staring at the wall opposite my bed and on the floor I could see a winding trail of swarming ants. The ants were carrying matches, some in boxes and some lit, all walking in a long line into a small, dark hole in the skirting board. Some of the ants were wearing crowns. I did not know why the ants were there, but the image was so strong in my mind that I created several pieces of work that were inspired by my dream. | Soon after this I had a strange dream which I documented in my mark making work.

I also tried several new techniques of mark making. I found it hard to draw abstract shapes so I resorted to closing my eyes while drawing. This produced some intriguing results. I also tried using duct tape as a type of non-traditional media and I think the effect it creates is visually interesting. | |||
